    I think last 2 days more sun and less clouds, but today back to normal with rain and cloud. Seems like my system is worse when there is less Sun and when there is Sun it works well :)...

    Complaining, naaa only time I will stop complaining is when we get Summer :).

    I can't see why not. There used to be a few posts showing people's meters but they seem to have dried up lately.

    8.2kWh today; just beat the Feb figures by 2.7kWh:rotfl: Mind you, there were 29 days in this years Feb.:) :rotfl:

    Interesting (for me anyway) Hrs of Sunshine yesterday were 18mins compared to 1:15hrs today; yet only an extra 1kWh. Which makes yesterdays dull day = 87.8% of todays gen. despite the extra sunshine being 416.6% higher.:rotfl::rotfl:

    14.8 kWh today.
    Best generation during July was on the 12th with 23.3kWh.
    The system is 31 days old today and has generated 378kWh in it's first "month".

    However, my neighbour (the seller) has pointed out a clause in our property contracts stating I have to apply for written consent for any additions to the property, requiring planning permission or not, before works can commence - which I did not do :cry:

    Wish me luck...

    Ask the question; and you may then, get the wrong answer. If you get asked the question; ask the council why they are recycling, that gives them the answer. Stupid regulations imposed by cretins. :mad:
